We are pleased to introduce the next instalment in our ongoing education series with our Head of Production, Isabella Wemyss . At Wemyss Malts, we believe whisky should be honest—uncompromised by unnecessary intervention—allowing every rich nuance and characteristic from the cask to shine through. In this fourth chapter, Isabella delves into the practice of chill filtering, a widely debated step in whisky production. #EducationSeries #IndustryInsights #WemyssMalts #WhiskyProduction Kirsty Mackinnon William Wemyss Everest Marshall William Ringham Ginny Boswell Favreau Emmanuel

We are proud to unveil the second part of our Wemyss Malts Education Series: Why We Choose Our Own Casks. Our Production Director, Isabella Wemyss, believes in crafting whiskies that stand out for their consistency and quality. It's not just about the spirit; it's about the cask and wood type it matures in. In part 2 of our Education Series, Isabella explains why selecting the perfect casks is integral to our process. Each whisky's flavour is a result of the intricate dance between the spirit and the cask it calls home. That's why we match cask types to flavour profiles, ensuring each component is in harmony.

"In the world of whisky, the terms for production processes can be quite peculiar, as I've explored in previous blogs. One such term is that of ‘marrying’ whisky. It’s a term for a process that takes place in the blending stage after whiskies have been matured and introduced to each other in the blending vat – a kind of whisky honeymoon, if you will. But why is it important and where does the ‘wood’ aspect come in?" Thank you to the fantastic Emma Gibbs for this piece on the process of "Marrying In Wood" with a special focus on our 25 year old Limited Release, A Quarter Passed. Read her full blog below: https://lnkd.in/eSgY25hv #wemyssmalts #wemyssfamilyspirits #scotchwhisky #whisky #blendedmaltwhisky #whiskyproduction

We believe that marrying our whiskies in wood, creates a rounder, smoother blend than if we just married in a metal vat. We ‘marry’ our whiskies together, then return the whiskies to their original casks to mature for a bit longer – normally a month or two. “It helps the flavours to meld together,” says Isabella Wemyss , “It makes them mix properly so that you get a fuller, richer, smoother flavour out of each dram. We think this is a very important element in maximising on the aroma and flavour profile you get after opening one of our bottles.” This technique is used in all of our blended malt whiskies including A Quarter Passed limited edition blended malt whisky as well as our core range, The Hive, Spice King and Peat Chimney. Learn all about this process and how we apply it to our expressions in the blog below. https://lnkd.in/eJZ7er6s #WemyssMalts #EducationSeries #Whisky #WhiskyBusiness #IndependentBottlers #CaskSelection #BlendingTechniques #FlavourProfiles #SpiritsBusiness #BehindTheScenes William Wemyss Kirsty Mackinnon Emma Gibbs Rebecca McMahon James Evans Everest Marshall Ginny Boswell Favreau Emmanuel Gregor Stirling

Introducing the first episode of our 8-part Education Series, 'Marrying Wood'. Isabella Wemyss considers this aspect of our blending process pivotal, setting us apart from our competitors. Marrying whisky in wood enables a profound interaction with the oak, enriching its character. This meticulous process imbues the final product with enhanced depth and complexity, highlighting oak-derived flavours and aromas. As one of the select few Independent Bottlers who also own and produce Single Malt at Kingsbarns, we benefit from numerous synergies in skillsets. Isabella’s proficiency in cask selection, blending techniques, flavour profiling, and quality assessment is seamlessly applied across both our distillery and bottling operations.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to delve into the world of whisky blending with our esteemed Production Director, Isabella Wemyss . Isabella kindly shared her wealth of knowledge as she guided us through the intricate process of creating a bespoke blend.

The blending session not only provided us with a hands-on understanding of the meticulous work that goes into each Wemyss Malts bottle but also highlighted the unique palate preferences of our team members.
